Overview of this book

Serverless applications are becoming very popular among developers and are generating a buzz in the tech market. Many organizations struggle with the effective implementation of DevOps with serverless applications. DevOps for Serverless Applications takes you through different DevOps-related scenarios to give you a solid foundation in serverless deployment. You will start by understanding the concepts of serverless architecture and development, and why they are important. Then, you will get to grips with the DevOps ideology and gain an understanding of how it fits into the Serverless Framework. You'll cover deployment framework building and deployment with CI and CD pipelines for serverless applications. You will also explore log management and issue reporting in the serverless environment.

Implementing continuous integration and continuous delivery with Azure Functions


Now that we have created a simple application through the Azure portal, the next question is how do we add a multiple number of functions, source code them and set up automated build and deployment. We do this, of course, through DevOps and automation. Let's start with continuous integration. As we know, continuous integration is an integral part of DevOps, where an application is integrated to work as one unit. We have to achieve the continuous integration, automated testing and continuous deployment for Azure Functions through automation. 

To start, we will first create an assembly line. The assembly line starts with a code repository like GitHub or SVN and concludes with production deployment. Everything within this has to be automated with almost minimal manual intervention through a pipeline. We will be covering pipelines in detail in the next chapter.

To achieve continuous integration, we need to start with...
